I bought a used golf cart a few days ago which had their batteries replaced last year. They hooked up an am/fm radio to it and it worked fine when you flip a separate switch. There is a “Tow” switch by the batteries that I was told to switch it to when not using the cart so there wouldn’t be any...
Hello folks.
I am about to complete on a (detached) house purchase and I want to ask your advice whether to have three phase connected to the house and possibly whether I can have it connected for free.
I plan to have two Zappy EV chargers installed with them both charging at the same time...
I have recently had panels fitted and very pleased with the results and am thinking about adding a battery to the system. As regarding re charging, is it a simple calculation? If, for instance, you have a system generating 5kwh at peak, will it recharge a fully drained 5kwh in one hour (...
I have the following batteries I need to connect to this inverter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09L89LW3P https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YDQSDC4. I need to set the two batteries up in a series. I watched a few videos, and see you should attach the positive terminal first, then...

My question is 'What battery do I use'? I am trying to to build a simple horn circuit for my wife's mobility scooter. My idea is to use a 6 or 12 volt motorbike horn, a battery and a switch in a simple circuit. I want something that is completely separate so it can be swapped between scooters. I...

Hello all,
I'd like some advice on wiring up a 24V leisure power system. It seems to work so far, but my wiring doesn't seem to match many other diagrams online. I'm worried that I'm damaging batteries or wasting power.
I have 4x 12V Lead Carbon batteries (all identical). I want to have 24V...
Hi All
We're new here and looking for some advice to make sense of the world of leisure batteries and inverters.
We're setting up a coffee van in an old Commer Highwayman. We've got an LPG coffee machine with its own battery and inverter for the electrical parts of it (pump, lights etc)
We...
Hey! I have a problem, my AGM battery is discharged to 0, I never thought about how to charge it, I have a regular battery charger, but as I read in this post, it doesn't suit me, really they can only charge 75-100% of the battery? What should I do? Need a new device?
As the title suggests, I am looking for some simple insulating covers to go over the terminals of my Bosch batteries to prevent any chance of them shorting while rattling about in a tool bag...
I have seen some 3D print plans for such items, but can't find anyone selling the items...
I I hook 2 identical batteries, each 100A 12V 1C, to an inverter, not in parallel, not in series, coming together at the inverter terminals, will I get 2C x 200A? Without trying to chase fractions around it looks like I can get max 8 amps of 120V AC out of 1 battery. If this works I would get...

OK I was an auto electrician back in the 70's and 80's so under stand a lot about batteries, however at that time the sealed for life battery was rather new, and you may have had a VRLA in a fire alarm, but not in a vehicle, the AGM battery was unheard of.
So did have stage battery chargers for...
I'm after some practical, expert advice on changing a solar PV system.
Got a 4 kW system which I probably paid too much for in 2016-ish when FiTs were still a thing and which is annoyingly inefficient, mainly due to the Growatt SP2000 battery which only kicks in after dark, when the panels are...
Hi just wondering what code you would give for hard wired smoke alarms with removable batteries, I always thought this would be code 3 but I got told recently that it’s a c2. Would be grateful if someone could clear this up for me also would the code be the same for out of date smokes? Thanks in...
I have a relatively cheep LCD clock in the kids room (Grow Egg Clock) that is supplied with a ac/dc adaptor, 8V 500mA.
As the little moster keeps playing with it I'd like to put it on a shelf but there's no sockets near by.
Was considering one of those 9V battery enclosures with the correct...
Can anyone point me in the direction of some Aquion battery stacks? I think there are some sitting in a warehouse somewhere after the company went bust two years ago but it is hard to find out where they might be.
Thanks all.....
